Episode 7: Adrian MacDonald

Come hang out with Adrian MacDonald, 2-time winner of the Leadville 100, a 100-mile race through the mountains of Colorado. More importantly, though, I got to know Adrian as a middle schooler on the fields and trails of summer camp. The relationship between campers and leaders has such a profound impact on so many young people and it is a joy to share in those memories of having known Adrian through that lens today.

 

Today’s episode has been brought to you by YMCA Camp Belknap, Located in Wolfeboro, NH. The Mission of Belknap has remained consistent for well over 100 years. Character, kindness, and a sense of joy in the world and the people who share it are the hallmarks of the Belknap experience where the mission is to preserve the unique physical and spiritual environment where young men may forever build strong character, self esteem, individual maturity and community responsibility; to acquire for life the skill of leadership and the value of good stewardship; to honor the history and traditions which are the Belknap experience; and to be a contributing citizen in the community it serves and from which it receives its benefit.

 

It is the place where Adrian and I first met and where I, myself, spent over 15 summers as a camper and leader. Check out their website at www.campbelknap.org  and see how you can give to their scholarship fund so more boys can have access to the opportunity.
